I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons-Chapter 55: Shocking Appearance! Pure World White Lotus Sect!

Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Shocking Appearance! Pure World White Lotus Sect!

Ever since Lu Xuan went to Liugou Village and found nothing,

he traveled without pause, driving his horse day and night on the road to White Dao Prefecture City.

Dengfeng County, Four Directions Town!

Lu Xuan rode his horse to the outskirts of a small town, glancing at the stone tablet beside the town gate.

After realizing he had left the jurisdiction of Qingyun County,

Lu Xuan looked at his exhausted horse and finally gave up on the idea of continuing his journey.

"It seems I’ve arrived at Dengfeng County. Let’s rest for the night and continue tomorrow. In a few days, I’ll reach the county seat of Dengfeng County."

Dengfeng County is adjacent to Qingyun County, conveniently along the route to White Dao Prefecture City.

"Qingqing and that young fellow, it’s been about a year since I last saw them."

"It’s good. Tomorrow, I can go to Dengfeng County to see Qingqing."

Lu Xuan murmured, recalling his half-sister, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.

A year ago, Lu Qingqing married into a prestigious family in Dengfeng County, akin to the Lu Family Pharmacy, also a family of medical skills.

When the other party did business with the Lu Family Pharmacy in Qingyun County, Lu Qingqing met and developed feelings for the eldest son of the family.

After Lu Xuan put him through various tests, he felt assured enough to entrust Lu Qingqing to him.

Lu Xuan led his horse, walking down the alley of Four Directions Town, stopping in front of an inn.

Four Directions Inn!

A young servant standing by the inn’s entrance saw Lu Xuan, quickly ran out, and greeted him with a smile.

"Sir, is it just you? Please this way."

"Yes!"

Lu Xuan handed his horse to the servant and strode into the inn.

To Lu Xuan’s surprise, unlike the usually bustling inns,

a few scattered patrons were inside, making the inn seem particularly quiet, and the innkeeper appeared drowsy.

Of course, the moment Lu Xuan walked in, the innkeeper seemed rejuvenated, smiling and approaching him.

"Sir, please have a seat. What can I get for you?"

Though curious, Lu Xuan didn’t ask much and sat at the nearest table.

"Get me a fine guest room and prepare thirty pounds of beef jerky, sent to my room."

Having traveled tirelessly, all of Lu Xuan’s provisions had been depleted.

Even if he ate all thirty pounds of beef jerky, he would only feel partially full.

"Thirty pounds!"

"Sir, this..."

The innkeeper started to agree but quickly reacted, looking at Lu Xuan with a surprised expression.

He doubted he had heard correctly and softly spoke flatteringly.

"Sir, are you sure you want thirty pounds of beef jerky?"

Even for martial artists, that was enough to feed five or six.

Unfazed by the innkeeper’s astonishment, Lu Xuan calmly uttered a single word: "Yes!"

Once Lu Xuan confirmed, the innkeeper appeared troubled and apologetically smiled.

"I sincerely apologize, sir. We don’t have that much beef jerky."

"Hmm?"

"You don’t?"

Now Lu Xuan was puzzled, looking at the innkeeper suspiciously.

Lu Xuan suspected the innkeeper might be deliberately messing with him.

A large inn in town unable to supply thirty pounds of beef jerky—what kind of inn was this?

The innkeeper, seeing Lu Xuan’s strange gaze, hurriedly explained.

Not because he doubted Lu Xuan’s ability to pay, but because the inn truly didn’t have that much beef jerky.

"Sir, please don’t misunderstand."

"Despite the inn’s current emptiness, actually,

many guests had pre-booked most of our food before you arrived."

"Including beef jerky, which is reserved down to less than fifteen pounds."

"Soon, they’ll come to collect the food, as they’re heading to Lian Sheng Temple."

"Lian Sheng Temple?"

The name was unfamiliar to Lu Xuan, but he didn’t think much of it.

Since the inn couldn’t supply thirty pounds, he’d have to substitute with other meat dishes.

"I’ll take all the remaining beef jerky and please prepare other food and drinks."

"Yes, yes, yes, sir. Please have a seat, I’ll arrange for it immediately."

"Li, quickly clean and ready an upper room for the gentleman."

The innkeeper was all smiles, seemingly having not seen a customer like Lu Xuan for a while. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

At that moment, a large group pushed through the inn’s entrance.

Central among them were a well-dressed man and woman adorned with luxury jewelry.

But the woman had a heavily pregnant belly, carefully supported by a nearby maid.

"Come, dear, be careful."

"Innkeeper, where’s the food we pre-ordered? Quickly, we need to head to Lian Sheng Temple!"

Seeing the arrivals, the innkeeper’s old face nearly contorted into a dried orange peel with joy as he dashed before them.

Bowing low, he spoke flatteringly to the central man.

"Mr. Chen, everything’s prepared. I’ll have it fetched for you now."

Judging from the innkeeper’s servility, the newcomers’ status was so esteemed it nearly bent him in half.

"Oh, husband, once the master of Lian Sheng Temple completes the blessing, our family will successfully have a son."

The woman appeared gracious and elegant, lightly pinching a pendant hanging from her neck.

"Hmm?"

Lu Xuan was immediately stunned, a hint of shock on his face, then turned to the inn’s entrance.

Why does this aura feel so familiar?

If Lu Xuan wasn’t an Inner Qi Martial Artist, he might not have sensed the faint aura.

Lu Xuan’s eyes fixed firmly on the woman’s pendant.

It was a small, plain white oval seed threaded by a slender lotus root, hanging around her neck.

Lu Xuan would not mistake this aura—the eerie presence felt when he defeated the White Lotus Blood Infant was identical!

White Lotus Blood Infant! Pure World White Lotus Sect!

Lian Sheng Temple?

A turbulent storm raged in Lu Xuan’s mind as he connected these names.

Moments later, a smile crept up Lu Xuan’s lips, his eyes flaring with passionate anticipation.

Such thirst for System Points!

Lian Sheng Temple, huh?

Lu Xuan’s planned route changed abruptly; he decided to visit this so-called Lian Sheng Temple.

What could possibly possess an aura so similar to the White Lotus Blood Infant?
